convergent plate boundary plate boundary See all related content The Earth's crust is a jigsaw puzzle of huge rigid plates in constant relative motion. The plates are bounded by three types of features: ridge axes, where new seafloor is created in mid-ocean; transform faults, where plates slid...
The active continental margins referred as the Pacific-type margins are the zones of seismically active convergent plate boundaries. These are characterized by subduction zones formed under variety of settings such as oceanic–oceanic, oceanic–continental, etc. and are mostly observed along the peripher...

Both plate splitting and extension of convergent regions occur most often in continental, and not oceanic, lithosphere. Rifts are places where the breakup process either did not or has not yet progressed to seafloor spreading. Thus, they give us a snapshot of the early phase of continental exte...

We test the role of the advance rate (indentation rate) of the India–Eurasia convergent boundary, i.e. the Indian continental subduction zone hinge and slab (vI), relative to the rollback rate of the Western Pacific (vWP) and Sunda (vSu) subduction zones on the style and extent of cont...
a fixed boundary between drainage basins. For example, in response to tectonic uplift, the westward-draining Karoo River of South Africa (proto-Orange River; Extended Data Fig.4a) incised a deep channel through the Great Escarpment43at 120–110 Ma (refs. 29,43), paving the way for flu...
